Tool for fixing chains

[T-man]

I was wondering if any of you guys have worked with one of these types of tools for fixing chains....do they work ok?
I'm looking for something that I can use to fix #41 ... if this type doesn't work well, would you know of a better one.

i dont see how it works, has the chain to be snapped or broken at the link????

Is this not just a chain breaker?

 

[KieranM]

well when I did a search on ebay that thing poped up. I'm just looking for one of those tools that are used to take the pins out of and make a #41 chain shorter because I'm sick of useing a vice , hammer, and whole punch.

I use a lightweight chain breaker. Works great. Have broke many chains with it #35 to #50.

Dragster are you talking about the one in the first post or the squair block one??

Eagle that link showes one like in the first post but yours is cheeper I might go that rought.

one thing that I'm wondering is how would I push the pin all the way out, through both sides of the chain. also once I do get the pins back in how would I put the taper in the top of it to keep it from falling out or would I have to do that??

Well I happen to use a master link so I can't answer that.
